Vice President | Medical Director, Oregon West Network

PeaceHealth

PeaceHealth has served the Pacific Northwest since 1890 when two Sisters of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace and their lay colleagues built St. Joseph Hospital in Fairhaven, Washington, to care for loggers, fisherman and their families. By 1916, the communities served by the Sisters St. Joseph of Peace had grown to include five hospitals in Washington, Alaska, and British Columbia. By 1936, the Sisters were running hospitals and providing health services in Western Canada, Alaska, Washington, and Oregon. In 1976, the Sisters transferred their many hospitals and clinics into a civil, not-for-profit organization and transitioned the organization to lay leadership. In the mid-90s, the organization was renamed “PeaceHealth.” Because of the wisdom and foresight of the Sisters, PeaceHealth thrived and has today grown into a $2.5 billion integrated health system, serving communities throughout the Northwestern United States and has earned a national reputation for exceptional quality, safety, and innovation.
